CONDITION Excellent vintage condition with no chips, cracks, crazing, or repairs noted. Paint and glaze remain vibrant with lovely hand-finished detailing.
SIZE 9 inches long 6 inches high A wonderfully substantial display size — large enough to anchor a vignette, yet compact enough for bookshelves or mantels.
PROVENANCE From a private Southern estate collection featuring mid-century decorative art and European ceramics.
MAKER Unmarked. In the style of mid-century European studio ceramics (Italian/Portuguese/English), c. 1950s–1970s.
MATERIAL Glazed ceramic with hand-painted brown and white coat markings over a sculpted hound form, set on a marbled green plinth trimmed in gold.
WHY WE LOVE THIS An expressive and beautifully sculpted hound — alert stance, soulful painted eyes, and charming brush-stroke fur texture. The marbled base and gold trim add a refined, trophy-like presence, giving this piece a strong English hunting lodge feel. It would be striking layered into a vignette with leather-bound books, tartan textiles, antique sporting prints, or alongside equestrian collectibles. A fantastic statement for dog lovers and mid-century ceramics collectors alike.
